Only in full sun will its rosettes color in the famous, almost black-purple tone and maintain a dense, compact rose shape. If the light is insufficient, the plant will lose its burgundy splendor, turn simply green, and the shoots will start to stretch unattractively. A south or west-facing windowsill is the perfect choice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e💧 \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/b\u003e Extremely rare, minimal, and very thoughtful. As a proper desert and Canary Islands native, the aeonium stores large moisture reserves in its thick, juicy leaves and does not tolerate living in constant moisture. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"223\"\u003eWater the plant only when the soil in the pot is completely, 100% dry down to the very bottom between waterings!\u003c\/b\u003e Since the plant is in a 10 cm pot, it dries out relatively quickly, but the plant \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"409\"\u003eabsolutely cannot tolerate root rot caused by standing water\u003c\/b\u003e in the saucer, which can rapidly cause decay of the sensitive root system. In winter months (the plant’s dormant period), reduce watering to an absolute minimum – once a month is completely sufficient.

Since this is already a nicely matured plant in a stable 10 cm pot, it will not require immediate repotting for a very long time.
